Speaker 1 (00:00):
The investigation into who killed an Ohio dentist and his
wife in their home continues as a family member seemed
to dismiss the video of a person of interest that
went viral yesterday. So the couple were found dead in
their home on Tuesday, December thirtieth. A coworker of Spencer Teppe,
called nine one one when he didn't show up for
work and they couldn't reach his wife, Monique either. Another
(00:22):
person called nine one one a little while later and
said they went to do a wellness check and they
could see Spencer's body on the floor next to his bed,
and that he appeared to be dead, and that they
could hear the kids, who are four and one, in
the dog inside the house.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But nobody was opening the door.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So when police arrived, they found the couple's bodies, both
with gunshot wounds, but no gun. The kids were unharmed,
so they don't believe it was a murder suicide because
no gun. So then yesterday or the day before, they
released surveillance video of a shadowy figure in a hoodie
walking near the home between two and five on the
(01:00):
morning they believe the murders happened, but Spencer's brother in law,
who is now caring for the kids, dismissed the importance
of it, basically saying that, well, it could have just
been someone walking home late at night from a bar,
and that really doesn't tell us anything. He also said
that everybody loved these people, They had no known enemies,
and he can't imagine why anyone would want them dead.
(01:21):
He also said he thinks the kids are unaware of
what happened, and they're still trying to figure out how
to tell.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
The four year old Yeah, you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Uh, weird reaction from the brother.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, right, yes, very strange, Like I would think that
if your family members were killed and there was a
person walking in the middle of the night near the
home at the time, he'd be like, hey, let's find
out who this person is instead of dismissing it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
And there apparently was a nine to one one call.
It was a reported domestic dispute at that home months before,
back in April.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yes, a woman called nine one one.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
She was very distraught and then she ended up hanging
up the phone and nine one one called back and
then she said, no, no, I'm just really emotional, you know, I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Okay yeah, that would I think lead you to think,
could this be murder suicide?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
But like you said, there's no.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Gunh Yeah, where'd the gun go? If it's a murder suicide?
The gun's on the ground right there.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's a really mysterious story.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think that's going to continue to make national headlines
until there's resolution in that case.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This trending story brought to you by Trajan Wealth. Visit

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
A lot of Trump supporters love his dancing, but Melania
not so much. During his remarks to a group of
Republicans yesterday, Trump explained why she doesn't like the dancing.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
You know, she's a very classy person, right, She said,
it's so unpresidential. I said, but I did become president.
Somebody she hates what I dance. I said, everybody wants
to bed darling. It's not presidential. She Ashley said, could
you imagine FDR dancing? She said that to me.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, so Milania not a fan of the dancing.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Looked a little different if it was FDR.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Geez. So anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He also addressed Maduro mocking him at another point in
the speech.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
For years and years and years, and you know, here's
a violent guy. He gets up there and he tries
to imitate my dance a little bit, and some.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
People think that that's that was the final straw.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Like Trump saw him up there mark, you know, like
doing the dance, and said, that's it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
We're going to get him.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I wonder if if part of why Malania doesn't like
the dance, and you're right, Maga loves it. Trump supporters
love love the dance, and even some like athletes and
celebrities have done it. I wonder if part of it
is because of what I've said. And I first I
first got this vision of it from Bill Maher where
(03:54):
it looks in some ways like a graphic gesture.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It does, and then when we had we all did
the dance.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So when you did it, and that video is on
our TikTok and Instagram, you did it, so it really
looks like doing that gesture.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And I wonder if that's why Milania doesn't like it
so much. Mlania is she is classy.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
She's very classy, and she's very poised, and she doesn't
seem like Milania is one to let loose at all.
So I feel like she probably sees that as yeah,
not very presidential.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, but that is essentially what Trump is doing. That
is a white guy who can't dance. Dance, right, you know,
that's it?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, that's about all that most of us can do.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And his truth social all caps posts are not very
presidential either. I wonder if she said anything to him
about that.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, I just thought it was interesting of like all
the presidents that she could have said, like you.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Could you imagine Ronald Reagan doing that or John F. Kennedy.
She picks fdr Again.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's in a wheelchair, So I didn't even think of that.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It would have been a much different.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Kind of ding and O'CALLA family is suing a Disney
Springs restaurant for wrongful death after forty two year old
Kevin Duncan choked on a piece of steak and died
two days later. So he was in Orlando for his
daughter's dance competition. They went to eat at the Boathouse
restaurant with a big group of people. He started choking
on his steak and family and friends all tried doing
(05:19):
the Heimlich maneuver, but they were not able to get
the food out of his throat. When they alerted restaurant
staff immediately they called security instead of nine to one
one for help, which caused a big delay in him
receiving medical assistance. By the time help arrived, he had
been down for twenty five minutes, according to the report,
(05:40):
and then he was declared brain dead due to lack
of oxygen.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Two days later.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So Morgan and Morgan is representing the family and they
told Florida Politics that there are a lot of questions
about how the situation was handled, what safety protocols were
in place, if employees were properly trained on anything they
should have done when this happened, and so they're seeking
answers and accountability.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
It sounds like obviously restaurants staff didn't necessarily do the
right thing by not calling nine one one and calling
security instead. I also just wonder, because you can only
have one person doing the heimlik at a time, nobody
from family or friends group called nine one one as
this is unfolding.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, you would think that somebody would too, I don't know,
or maybe they thought we told the restaurants someone's.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Handling in and they aren't.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, but it's I mean, what
a terrible thing to have happened. And also, you know,
shouldn't someone in the restaurant be trained to do the heimlook,
but it doesn't always mean it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, so good point. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
My sister was at Disney during the holidays. She was
at Disney Springs and she heard a ton of sirens.
She was like, there was so many sirens and ambulances.
Personal allegedly committed suicide.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Seriously, and we haven't heard about that yet.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Right, it's just making some headlines now.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
But six death in the past few months at Disney.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, she went and looked it up after she heard
it because she was like, this wasn't you know one thing?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
This was tons of sirens. And that's why, ten.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Years after they were first introduced, smart rings are now
going mainstream. According to a new report in Bloomberg, smart
rings are on track for a forty nine percent jump
in shipments, far out pacing the estimated six percent gain
for smart watches. Now, the most popular brand is the
Aura ring, and the finished company was valued at eleven
(07:33):
billion dollars this fall. They were on track to make
a billion dollars in twenty twenty five. A loan and
that revenue includes the cost of the Aura ring plus
the five ninety nine a month subscription fee. The Aura
ring can monitor sleep, activity, heart rate, and they've become
really popular because they're lighter and less intrusive than smart watches,
(07:54):
the batteries last longer, they offer more accurate readings because
the smart ring sensors are position close to key arteries,
and fingers have thinner skin than wrists.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And now Ryan, you can take over because I know.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You want to tell everyone about your R ring is
like your favorite thing.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I've had my ORR ring for a while now.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
It really became popular after I guess Jennifer Anniston was
spotted wearing one, and so it was like, what's that
ring that she has on? And that's where people really
started to learn about the OR ring. I've had mine
for a while now.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think you've had it for a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yes, I remember we had one day that was super
stressful on the air when we're in another studio doing
different stuff, and you sent me a text the screenshot
of your stress level super high.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
When I'm watching sports, if my team's not playing well,
I can go back and look and my stress level
goes up.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I mean this morning.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I love getting all of the data and seeing what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, even though it's never.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Good like today, the message was when I woke up,
you'll pull through. I got like no sleep last night.
It's brutal. But what I liked about it, what turned
me onto the ring is I wanted the sleep information,
but I don't want to wear a watch to.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Bad high like all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I have my fitbit on all the time, and I'm
so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But your ORR ring gives you so much more information,
and so now I'm like, I want one.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I really love it. Again. None of the information
is ever good.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It's constantly telling me I don't get enough sleep, I'm
too stressed, and I'm unhealthy. But I like, at least
you know, at least no at least have validation, yes exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Hilton has cut ties with the Minnesota hotel that was
accused of canceling the reservations of Homeland Security agents. So
on Monday, the official dhs X account accused the Hilton
in Minneapolis of canceling reservations for their agents, with one
email from a Hilton rep saying we are not allowing
any ice or immigration agents to stay at our property.
(09:51):
The DHS posted on X no row at the inn,
and you know went off about this. Well, Hilton Hotels
distanced themselves from that hotels, saying it's independently owned and operated,
and then the owner of that location said the situation
was inconsistent with their company policies and that they would
resolve it. But conservative influencer Nick Sorder, who has a
(10:12):
huge following on X, went into the hotel and spoke
to the person at the front desk who confirmed that
he had just talked to the owner, who said the
anti DHS policy was still in effect, and someone from
Homeland Security told Nick, nobody ever contacted us from this hotel.
Our agents still aren't allowed to stay there. So Hilton
ended up cutting ties with that company, saying in a
(10:35):
statement that they are taking immediate action to remove that
hotel from their systems.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So the hotel would remain, but it wouldn't be a
Hilton hotel, which I.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Mean, that's going to totally hurt them because all these
little franchises. You want to book a Hilton, your book
in that Hilton, and now they're not going to have
to be like Joe's Hotel or.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Whatever, and you've got a figure.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
These days, if you're a business like that and you
have a policy like that, you're gonna get called out.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Say you got it and to send it in an email.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Will.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But it's obviously very liberal owner, liberal employee who wanted
to make a stand and do something about this injustice
and then you.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know they lost their business.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, that works for your business profile moving forward your
profit market.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well, it seems like The Simpsons predicted some things back
in the nineties that are happening now in twenty twenty six.
In a twenty twenty one episode episode called Them Robot
AI starts to take over the jobs of the people
in Springfield. Mister Burns replaces his employees with robots. They
turn on him, and then his laid off workers have
(11:39):
to come to his rescue.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So it seems like that's.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Something back in twenty twenty one they knew it was
going to happen. In October, analysis based on CHATGBT finding
said AI could wipe out nearly one hundred million jobs
over the next decade. And then in a nineteen ninety
four episode called Deep Space, Homer predicted the rise of
space travel for the general population. In this episode, Homer
(12:04):
was chosen by NASA to go into space with buzz
Aldrin in an attempt to make space travel more appealing
to the average man. And we saw last year Katie
Perry Gail King went on that Blue Origin space ship tour.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Besos got the idea from the episode of the Symptoms.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was inspired and then Smart Holmes. A nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Episode called Treehouse of Horror showed the Simpsons moving into
a voice controlled home that managed their day to day lives.
But then the longer they lived there, the more threatening
the smart house. So it starts talking back.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
That one's more impressive because that was done back in
nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, definitely, that one was the most impressive one. And
a study found that more than eight and ten Americans
now have smart tech refrigerators, door bells, robot vacuums, and
all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
In their homes.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, so the Simpsons like modern day nostrodamis It seems
like that's right.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Lian Gorman Show five to nine every weekday morning on
news radio WFLA
The investigation into who killed an Ohio dentist and his
wife in their home continues as a family member seemed

Yeah, right, yes, very strange, Like I would think that

Speaker 4 (08:42):
I love getting all of the data and seeing what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, even though it's never.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Good like today, the message was when I woke up,
you'll pull through. I got like no sleep last night.
It's brutal. But what I liked about it, what turned
me onto the ring is I wanted the sleep information,
but I don't want to wear a watch to.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Bad high like all the time.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I have my fitbit on all the time, and I'm
so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But your ORR ring gives you so much more information,
and so now I'm like, I want one.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I really love it. Again. None of the information
is ever good.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It's constantly telling me I don't get enough sleep, I'm
too stressed, and I'm unhealthy. But I like, at least
you know, at least no at least have validation, yes exactly.

Hilton has cut ties with the Minnesota hotel that was
accused of canceling the reservations of Homeland Security agents. So
on Monday, the official dhs X account accused the Hilton
in Minneapolis of canceling reservations for their agents, with one
email from a Hilton rep saying we are not allowing
any ice or immigration agents to stay at our property.
(09:51):
The DHS posted on X no row at the inn,
and you know went off about this. Well, Hilton Hotels
distanced themselves from that hotels, saying it's independently owned and operated,
and then the owner of that location said the situation
was inconsistent with their company policies and that they would
resolve it. But conservative influencer Nick Sorder, who has a
(10:12):
huge following on X, went into the hotel and spoke
to the person at the front desk who confirmed that
he had just talked to the owner, who said the
anti DHS policy was still in effect, and someone from
Homeland Security told Nick, nobody ever contacted us from this hotel.
Our agents still aren't allowed to stay there. So Hilton
ended up cutting ties with that company, saying in a
(10:35):
statement that they are taking immediate action to remove that
hotel from their systems.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So the hotel would remain, but it wouldn't be a
Hilton hotel, which I.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Mean, that's going to totally hurt them because all these
little franchises. You want to book a Hilton, your book
in that Hilton, and now they're not going to have
to be like Joe's Hotel or.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Whatever, and you've got a figure.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
These days, if you're a business like that and you
have a policy like that, you're gonna get called out.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Say you got it and to send it in an email.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Will.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But it's obviously very liberal owner, liberal employee who wanted
to make a stand and do something about this injustice
and then you.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know they lost their business.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, that works for your business profile moving forward your
profit market.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Well, it seems like The Simpsons predicted some things back
in the nineties that are happening now in twenty twenty six.
In a twenty twenty one episode episode called Them Robot
AI starts to take over the jobs of the people
in Springfield. Mister Burns replaces his employees with robots. They
turn on him, and then his laid off workers have
(11:39):
to come to his rescue.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So it seems like that's.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Something back in twenty twenty one they knew it was
going to happen. In October, analysis based on CHATGBT finding
said AI could wipe out nearly one hundred million jobs
over the next decade. And then in a nineteen ninety
four episode called Deep Space, Homer predicted the rise of
space travel for the general population. In this episode, Homer
(12:04):
was chosen by NASA to go into space with buzz
Aldrin in an attempt to make space travel more appealing
to the average man. And we saw last year Katie
Perry Gail King went on that Blue Origin space ship tour.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Besos got the idea from the episode of the Symptoms.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was inspired and then Smart Holmes. A nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Episode called Treehouse of Horror showed the Simpsons moving into
a voice controlled home that managed their day to day lives.
But then the longer they lived there, the more threatening
the smart house. So it starts talking back.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
That one's more impressive because that was done back in
nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, definitely, that one was the most impressive one. And
a study found that more than eight and ten Americans
now have smart tech refrigerators, door bells, robot vacuums, and
all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
In their homes.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, so the Simpsons like modern day nostrodamis It seems
like that's right.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
